Solid musical based on the Nativity.
Clever lyrics, Very catchy songs - strong singers.
Mary and Joseph are central but the true protagonist is Antepater, Herod's first born son who becomes appalled and anguished at the increasing violent mad outbursts and orders of his Papa His story cleverly offers the opportunity later to reveal Mary's strength of Grace.
It is a unique take that clearly involved genuine faith.
Joel Smallbone is excellent both in vocal chops and acting ability, convincing as the tormented son of Antonio Banderas' power hungry Herod.
Lecrae has a small yet effective part as Gabriel. Strewn throughout is a lighthearted humour in the 3 wise guys, Gabriel, and Fig, Mary's donkey, who pretty much steals every scene he is in.
Most costumes and settings are lovely. Spain fills in reasonably as Israel and surrounding area. There are some very beautiful scenes. It is a film which will surely become a Christmas Classic.
The expertise of songwriter and director Anders and his 10 years dedication to this project shows.
